7 Rotary ladies from WERC and Windsor St.George got up at the unearthly hour of 4 am to take part in the annual Sunrise walk in Windsor Great Park. They followed a six and a half mile route in mostly pouring rain starting at 6 am and finishing shortly after 8 when a full English breakfast accompanied by Bucks Fizz was waiting for them at the home of Rtn. David Shaw. To date they have raised £750 in sponsorship for the Thames Valley Hospice which hopefully will grow.
